My first year in Mozilla was more of experimental...I began my
Mozilla journey with localization. Then tried my hands on some awesome
Webmaking...and finally I got into MDN. Once I got introduced to MDN, I
instantly fell in love with it. The MDN project had everything I
like...an awesome blend of both documentation and coding.

My
MDN contribution till before the work-week had mostly been small
documentation edits here and there, some playing around with KUMA and a
lot of MDN Evangelism.
When I got the invitation mail for MDN
workweek, Paris, I was already on cloud nine. I had got a chance of
meeting a few members of the MDN team previously in Santa Clara during
the Mozilla Summit, and the very idea of getting to work with them again
was super thrilling!

The journey to Paris was also an awesome one. Afterall, Paris had been my dream since my days of 'Mills and Boons' ;) Kaustav
and I had reached Paris on the 5th of March. It was our immediate
instinct to visit the Paris office where we were hoping to find a few
other participants of the work-week. We met Christian
at the office. Well, walking on the streets of Paris with Christian is
something not very easily achievable...that every moment I knew that
this trip was going to be super awesome.

Next
day, we were honored to be able to join all the staffs in the Paris
office. Kaustav and I were the only volunteers there and the pride we
felt sitting in that room is beyond explanation.
MDN work-week
began on the 7th of March with a blast. There were 16 volunteers and 18
paid staff from 11 countries (France, USA, Canada,
UK, Sweden, Italy, Poland, Germany, India, Bangladesh, Brazil) who
worked together to finish
23 projects, touched 400+ bugs.

MDN Workweek was the perfect example of Work hard, party harder.
After the entire day's hard work, we would be taken to some awesome
French restaurant for mouth watering food and heavenly French wine.

My contribution in MDN Workweek

My
agenda for the MDN workweek was to build a start-up page for new
contributors so that whenever new contributors ask - "How do I
contribute to MDN", we have the one work answer to that.
After working on it for three days, this is what I could finally manage to get done:https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/Getting_started
Here, I shouldn't forget to thank Janet, Kaustav and Sheppy for helping me in getting the page completed.

Along
with this project, I also did help Janet and Kaustav complete the event
format for MDN events and publish the page on Mozilla Wiki. The page
can be found here.
Another very interesting stuff that I got to work on during the work-week was the planning of Dev Derby launch with Kensie.

MDN Workweek was an experience of a lifetime and I indeed feel immensely lucky to have been able to be a part of such an event.

For the entire awesome experience, I would like to thank Ali Spivak, who had managed the entire event in the most efficient manner I have ever seen.
